Hi,
I have been using Clinique for years (probably 15), and now that I am 35 I am feeling I need a change, and maybe something a bit more. Wrinkles are creeping in, which I know is normal, but my skin just feels like it needs more than what I am using, and although I could go back to clinique and get extra products, I am keen to try something new.
Usually I use a cleanser in the shower, toner, moisturiser and eye cream. At night I usually use one of their night creams that I have got in their gift time bags.

I look forward to hearing peoples suggestions and what you are happy with.

Thanks!
Lisa

Enlightenment is the best revenge
I actually have a really simple beauty routine (possibly too simple happy.gif )

I wash my face with dove moisturising soap both morning and evening. And that's it.

Sometimes I use moisturiser, but I don't generally need it.

Wow! How lucky are you! My skin is more normal to dry so I find I really need a moisturiser of some description, and the moisture issue is probably why I am looking for something different. Although, I also know that I need to up my water intake as well.
Thanks for your reply.

Three, it's a magic number. Yes it is.
I use Jurlique - I have a foaming moisturising cleanser I use each morning in the shower then I use the Herbal Recovery Gel and Serum when I get out. I love it. Very clean and pure.

I love Clarins! I keep trying cheaper stuff but don't even last 6 weeks and I go back.

Dermalogica!

ETA Add to that Trilogy Rosehip Oil - It's been a godsend to my now drier than normal skin (I used to have oily skin). It has faded my acne scars quite considerably.

I wash my face using sorbolene cream, water and a wash cloth. I'm still fairly young but this is the beauty routine my mother has used since she was 18 and she is often mistaken as 20 years younger than what she actually is.

My variation to her routine is I use the Cancer Council tinted facial sunscreen on my face after cleansing every morning.

I'm 36 and like you noticing the aging side of things a bit too much for my liking.

I am loving Olay.

I use the Olay Total Effects during the day and at night the one Rebecca Gibney supports on the ad, it is in a red container Olay Regenerist at night time. I also use Olay Revitalising Cream/Serum if I shower during the day, say after mowing the lawn as an extra boost.

I have noticed such a difference with my skin tone and also the deep lines are more softer. I always buy it on a special even if I don't need it, saving about $10 dollars for each product.

I used to use Clinique (for about 5 years) but started to have an allergic reaction to it. After much trial and error I discover Avene, a French brand for sensitive skin. They have a great moisture mask, which I use a couple time a week in winter.
I normally wash my face with water and washer morning and night, and then apply face lotion. As I said in winter I use a moisture mask, and a few times a week I use a scrub (garnier blackhead clearing in summer and Avene gentle scrub in winter)
